Astralis Talent player Mikkel "⁠MistR⁠" Thomsen will step in for the Danish powerhouse at the upcoming Regional Major Ranking event.

Astralis have announced that Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke has suffered a "complicated ankle fracture" and that he will require a lot of rest over the coming days and weeks.

The Danish powerhouse will fight at the all-important tournament for a spot at the IEM Rio Major with one of their academy players, MistR, who has supposedly been submitted as their official substitute player ahead of the roster deadline for the RMR event.

This will come as a big blow to Astralis' chances at the stacked Major-qualifying tournament, where 16 teams will compete including the likes of heavyweights FaZe, G2, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Cloud9 and eight will advance to IEM Rio.

It's not the first time that k0nfig will miss several weeks of action following a serious injury. In the latter half of 2021, when he was still part of Complexity, he was sidelined from competition for nearly two months after he had broken his wrist.

Astralis' lineup for the Europe RMR will be the following:
